Directions: Park at Tra na Rosann and walk(right) across the beach. Follow a faint path(left) for about 5 mins to reach the first zawn(C115 431). The second area is a further 5 min walk along the headland(114 433). Care is needed descending the slabs if they're wet. On a rough day or if there's a swell, freak waves can reach the upper slab and wash over the island OS Grid Reference: C114 433 |

3 - Respite
HVS 5aLength: 30m K McGee, G Scott, P Tinney. 27/03/11 This climb starts up the perfect crack near the bottom of the upper platform in the main area. Climb the crack to the top, swing round on good holds to reach easy ground that leads right, follow this to the base of the headwall. Climb the leftward trending crack to the top. (This was climbed in 2 pitches on the first ascent. There's a good belay ledge near the top of the initial crack which puts the belayer a safe distance from the waves and make communication on the upper wall easier) View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||

/5 - Definitely a 2 Maybe a 3
Length: 8m P. Tinney & K. McGee 28 July 2011 Go past main wall for approx. 100metres until a large narrow inlet comes into view. Take care as it would be quite easy to fall into this deep inlet. Go down ledges on the north side of this inlet to a flat area with two steep walls forming a corner. This climbs the good crack in the center of the south facing wall.
